THE “OTTAW 


(Weekly Review of National Affairs) 
@ 
By M. McDOUGALL

The War Loan— 

Ottawa, June 5th-- The Canadian 
people are now going through one of 
their testing hours. They have been 
asked to invest $600,000,000 from their 
savings in government bonds to pro- 
vide the government and through the 
government the armed forces of Can- 
ada with the sinews of war, with the 
tools to defeat Hitlerism and preserve 
the nation’s liberty. It is a large am- 
ount that is being asked from the 
Canadian people these days both in 
taxes and in loans, but what is at 
stake is beyond financial calcula- 
tion— freedom. 

The campaign managers for the 
loan certainly appear to have left 
very little to chance. Nothing seems 
to have been left undone in giving the 
loan the widest publicity. 

New Minister of National 
War Services— 

At the time of writing an announce. 
ment is expected shortly from the 
Prime Minister of an appointment to 
the cabinet post of national war ser- 
vices. J. G.. Gardiner has been holding 
this post as well as that of agricult- 
ure, but the great difficulties and com 


~ plexities of farming problems and the 


immense responsibilities of primary 
producers in the war require the full 
undivided time of the minister. The 
duties of the national war services de- 
partment are also to be extended, It 
has been looking after national regis- 
tration. the drafting of recruits for 
compulsory military training and vol- 
untary war services. With this has 
been the direction of public informa- 
tion. This branch of the new minist 
er’s duties is to be considerably ex 
tended. 

Developments In Agricultural 
Situation— 

Wheat, bacon and cheese questions 
have been to the fore in the past week 
in Ottawa. In the case of wheat it has 
been the announcement from Wash- 
ington of an import quota of 800,000 
bushels of which 795,000 bushels are 
allotted to Canada and of an impend- 
ing conference in that city on sur- 
surplus wheat problems, In a note to 
the Dominion the United States gov- 
ernment asks for “closer collaborat- 
ion between the Canadian and Amer- 
ican governments with a view to pre- 
venting divergencies in our respect- 
ive wheat programs and yolicies, a de- 
velopment which would be in accord 
with th purposes of the Hyde Park 
declaration.” The announcement of 
the quota does not alter existing con- 
ditions very much as sales of Canad- 
ian wheat to the United States ex- 
cept in a few special years have been 
small. The rapid rise in American 
prices, stimulated by government aid 
measures, had brought within view 
a time when even with the 42 cent a 
bushel import duty, Canadian wheat 
might cross the border. in volume. 
Bacon Increase— 

The British request to increase bacon 
shipments in the next few weeks has 
led to licensing restrictions on dom- 
estic distribution of pork to the 1940 
level. The British contract for 425 
million pounds of bacon will be com- 
pleted by September 15th instead of 
October 31st as originally provided. 
Some announcement is expected 
shortly from the government on bac- 
on prices, The rise in prices in the 
United States has naturally an influ- 
ence in Canada. Exports to that coun- 
try would deplete stocks available for 
shipment to Britain, a condition that 
has to be avoided, 

Cheese Increase— The fear that Can 
ada would fall down on shipments of 
cheese to Britain has been dispelled 
with a 60 per cent increase in produc- 
tion in this country in the past two or 
three weeks, Improved livestock feed- 
ing has contributed to this, The Brit- 
ish contract calls for shipment of 112 
million pounds. All the Canadian 
cheddar produced in Ontario and Que- 
bec is being delivered under this con- 
tract, and the three fifths of a cent 
per pound bonus from the Dominion 
is restricted to cheese consigned to 

Britain. It is emphasized here | that 
the essential consideration facing the 
government and the Canadian produ- 
cer is to see that Canada fulfills its 


SPOTLIGHT” 


Obligations for the delivery of food 
products to Britain to the full. 

The budget bills are being thor-. 
oughly debated and being passed 


through the house of commons. Not 
all the provinces have as yet expres- 
sed agreement on the vacating the in- 
come tax field in favor of the Domin- 
ion for the period of the war. Sharp 
issue has been raised between the 
Dominion and Ontario governments on 
the 15 per cent tax on interest receiv- 
ed by non-residents holding Canadian 


securities apart from federal bonds 
and exempting securities on which by 
contract the interest is to be paid in 
Other than Canadian currency. Notes 
have passed between the prime min- 
ister and premier Hepburn’ on_ the 


subject. Premier Hepburn contends 
that the imposition of a tax on inter- 
est on Ontario bonds is “without legal 
authority.” There the question rests 
for the moment. 

Niagara Power Again? 

A further diversion of 100,000 horse 
power of electric energy at Niagara, 
two thirds for the American indust- 
ries and one third for Canadian, and 
the decision to have conscientious ob- 
jectors trained for non-military  ser- 
vice in labor camps at 50 cents a day 
instead of in military training cen- 
tres at $1.30 a day are among recent 
announcements of domestic interest.

Progressive in outlook, kindly with 
his fellow man and industrious in all 
his endeavors, Mr Thorssen was an 
all round waluable citizen, that his

He followed the Hardware business 
at Rolette in N. Dakota until he came 
to Namaka in 1909, where he _ has 
since been a successful farmer with 
his brother A, N. Thorssen, under the 
name of Thorssen Bros. 

He was a Councillor of the M. D.

MILITARY DISPLAY 


DRAWS LARGE CROWD 
IN STRATHMORE 


The first Military Display and Mo- 
bile recruiting party to appear in 
Strathmore, drew a large crowd of 
interested spectators when they arriv- 
ed in town Thursday last. 

A well trained band from Currie 
Barracks, Calgary, interspersed the 
military operations with some good 
musical selections, 

The military unit included well 
trained infantrymen, army lorries, 
anti-tank rifles, machine guns, and a 
Bren gun carrier, 

Included in the parade’ through 
town were the 28rd Battery, and 
School Cadets, all making a very 
smart appearance, 

At the school grounds the officers 
explained the various movements de- 
monstrated by the men. 

The Bren gun carrier, the smoke 
screen and the clever and rapid build- 
of the cencertina wire fencing were 
especially interesting. 

The putting on and taking off, of 
the gas masks while still marching 
was déxterously managed. 

One farmer in the crowd was heard 
to remark he would like to engage 
some of these wire fence builders to 
put up a fence on his farm.

nounce the engagement of their

Strathmore Scouts built and lit a bea- 
con on the top of Coyote Hill, signif- 
icant of the torch being sent all over 
Canada, Scout Troop all over the 
country were busy lighting flares at 
the same time. A small group of the 
younger members of the town were 
present a the lighting, when Scout- 
master Rawsthorne threw an oil 
soaked torch into the pile of timber, 
and watched it flare up. Many other 
citizens saw the huge flames from 
town, and word spread around town 
almost as fast as the flames spread 
up the pyre. The foundation burned 
out from under in a short time, and 
it sunk to a huge fire on the ground.. 
Slowly the watchers dispersed, and 
when the fire finally died down ---. 
along about one o'clock, there was no 


one,

friends of the bride-elect, about  six- 
teen being present,

Mrs Whiteside and Mrs Petersen did 
the honors at the Tea and Coffee 
Urns, 

A huge basket artistically decorat- 
ed in pink and white was placed be-

: Effective 


Unemployment Insurance becomes 
an actuality in Canada from July first. 
For the Workers who are subject to 
periods of unemployment through no 
fault of their own it will mean the 
difference between being on relief or 
charity and the self-respect of having 
provided for their own welfare 
through a plan of insurance savings. 


Employer And Employee— 
The plan is one of co-operation be- 


tween the employer, the employee, 
and the Government. Each makes a 
contribution based on the weekly 


, wages earned by the employee. To the 
amount contrnbuted by the employer 
ana the amount deducted from the 
employee’s wages, the Government 
adds one fifth of the total, and pays 
| tor the cost of operation. These con- 
tributions are similar to insurance pre- 
miums, and accumulate against the

In Use In Britain For 30 Years— 
This, briefly, is the Unemploy- 
ment Insurance Plan which becomes 
a law of Canada, just as it has been 
a law in Great Britain for more than 
thirty years. With the experience of 
the British Act as well as the exam- 
ples of other Countries to draw upon, 
the Unemployment Insurance Commis- 
sion has created a plan which should 
operate with the least inconvenience 
to the employer and to the greatest 
possible benefit to the workers.

as well as the employer’s. In this way 
every worker can find out exactly at

There are some classes of workers

Line Elevetors’ Exhibit 


The North-West Line Elevators 
Association exhibit, now regarded as 
an institution at “B” class fairs, will 
be covering the circuit again this 
season. “A” class exhibitions at 
Brandon, Calgary, and possibly 
Regina, will also be included. 

The central feature cf this year’s 
display will illustrate, by mechanical 
devices, the problem of controlling 
wind and water erosion of soil. Arti- 
ficial dust and rain storms will illus- 
trate the damage to soils from these 
causes. Adjacent to the damaged 
fields will be contrasting scenes show- 
ing the results obtained when control 
methods are applied. This portion of 
the exhibit will occupy the entire 
back section. On one end will be dis- 
plays featuring production factors to 
include information on weeds, in- 
sects, plant diseases, and fertilizers. 
The other end will contain exhibits 
illustrating the production of grass 
and legume crops, problem of 
grain mites in farm 
the grading of grain. 

will be 


shown in the exhibit as an added 
attraction. 

This will be the fourth year in suc- 
cession for The North-West Line 
Elevators Association exhibit to be 
shown at “B” class exhibitions, The 
purpose of the exhibit this year is 
identical with that of former years. 
That is, to present something which 
it is hoped will be both informative 
and entertaining to farmers and 
the fair. ‘You ave cordially inviten to

EGG CONTRACT 
REQUIREMENTS TO BRITAIN 


Recently a considerable amount of | 
publicity has been given to the egg | 
contracts between the recently form- 
ed Canadian Special Products Board 
and the British Ministry of Foods. 
The first contract was for 360,000 
cases, 180,000 to be delivered to sea- 
board by the first of June and the bal- 
ance for Fall delivery. Recently addi- 
tional contracts have about doubled 
the Fall delivery. These contracts 
called for 60 per cent A and 40 per 
cent B grades for the total orders. 
Due to the large percentage of eggs 
in the lower grades received on the 
Prairie markets, our quota was set 
at 45 per cent A grade and 55 per 
cent B grade. Because of largely spec- 
ialized producer receippts on the B. C. 
markets, their quota was 100 per cent 
A grade, This in itself shows that 
Prairie, and particularly Alberta poul- 
trymen, can do a great deal better 
than they are doing at present to- 
wards fulfilling this part of our war 
effort. 

As stated many times before, one 
reason why Alberta poultrymen re- 
ceive the lowest average egg price in 
Canada is because they are producing 
such a volume of low grade eggs, es-

NEWS BRIEFS— @@@ 


A certain Social Credit member 
tried to embarrass the position of the 
Canadian newspapers in the eyes of 
public when he asked in the House 
of Commons for the names of the pub- 
lications who carried war campaign 
advertising without charge. It is true 
that the display advertising is paid 
for, but the columns and columns of 
supporting reading matter and editor- 
ial opinion is not paid for. This was 
what is known as a “political fast 
one,” for very few members in the 
House of Commons could give answer 
and do justice to the publications at- 
tacked. We as newspapers, might also 
ask how many members of parliament 
are serving without pay in the inter- 
ests of the war effort.

WORLD OF WHEAT 


(By H. G. L. Strange) 
Director— The Crop Testing Pian 


With all the extra summerfallow be- 
ing done thi year farmers have a gol- 
den opportunity of killing great quan- 
tities of weeds, 

Wild oats are one of the worst rob- 
bers of the farmers’ grain. The roots 
ot the wild oat plant in average soil 
occupy as much space as the wheat 
roots, and a wild oat plant uses as 
much precious moisture as does a 
wheat plant. Three weeks after the 
seed germinates the wild oat roots 
are usually down some 25 inches; by 
harvest time they are often down six 
feet! It is therefore important to get 
rid of this pest, and it can be done 
with care and patience, 

If wild oats are plentiful, the land 
in most cases should not be ploughed 
during the summerfallow, but only 
surface cultivated, and only to a depth 
of three inches. Let the plants grow 
until they are in the three or four 
leaf stage; they are then at their 
weakest, When cut at ths stage with 
a disc or a cultivator the plant will 
die. If it is taller the joints will root 
and grow; if it is smaller another 
plant will often grow from the same 
root. The main idea is to induce the 
eeds to germinate and the plants to 
grow, and then to kill them by shal- 
low cultivation, and to repeat this op- 
eration from time to time during the 
summer season,

DR GERSHAW WRITES 
FROM OTTAWA 


Members are looking for the elusive 
War millionaire. His existence and po- 
sition is indefinite and he would need 


to be a superman doing a whale of a 
business paying 81 per cent excessive 
Profit tax and Income tax and all the 
other levies. 


Mr Coldwell said he had heard that 


there were 20 of them but could not 
say where the story started. 
Mr Hanson was indignant at the 


suggestion being repeated “based on 
the imagination of some one who 
wanted to be of disservice to Canada.” 
Mr Usley said he was morally certain 
and entirely satisfied that the story 
was wholly invented and those mak- 
ing the statement had proceeded on 


nothing whatever.” 


The Canadian Motor Car Manufac- 
turers must reduce their output of 
Passenger Automobiles. One reason 
for this order is the necessity of con- 
serving foreign exchange. Each fact- 
ory must reduce the foreign exchange 
requirements by 20 per cent at least. 
This should induce manufacturers to 
concentrate on the production of low- 
priced cars, with low foreign exchange 
content, There will be fewer special 
and deluxe models and more standard- 
ization of color, unholstery, finish, 
ete. This will also mean the release 
for War work of machine tools and 
skilled labor. This does not apply to 
trucks or Commercial vehicles. 

A Priorities officer has been ap- 
pointed to control building projects. 
A license must be obtained from him

ordinary dwelling houses or buildings 
used in the fishing, logging, mining 
o farming industry. The object of the 
legislation is to conserve foreign ex- 
change to purchase needed War 
material, to control the demand for 
skilled labor, to save material in some 
places for War construction and the 
postponement of such work until the 
post war period to maintain employ- 
ment and economic activity at that 
time. 

Thirty four members of Parliament 
spent a Saturday at Camp Border, re- 
cently. We saw an Armoured division 
that would occupy 200 miles of road 
if the Vehicles were properly spaced. 
We rode out to the field in Gun Car- 
riers, which are fitting descendants 
of the Bucking Bronchos. We fired 
machine guns which despatched 900 
bullets per minute and we rode in the 
Armoured tanks up hill down 
dale, through forests of trees and over 
the rough prairie. Some were black 
and blue for days after but all came 
away with a vivid impression of the 
life of a soldier as far as the activity 
is concerned.

400 Army Trucks and Gun Carriers 
are being turned out every day. 
Seventy thousand of these were used 
in the Libyan Campaign and another 
100,000 are already in use. Chemicals, 
explosives, airplanes, shells, 
gun carriages and mountings are be- 
ing turned out. Tank production has 
started and 14 types of guns are be- 
ing produced. These include Navai, 
Anti Tank, Anti Air Craft heavy and 
light guns. The Bren Gun plant at 
Toronto has the larget production of 
any Automatic Gun plant in the world. 
They are turning out guns at the rate 
of 97,500 per year. 

Airplane engines are being import-

A Billion and a half of dollars will

BEE-KEEPING IN THE 
WESTLOCK DISTRICT 
Bee-keeping in the Westlock Dist- 


rict is now recognized as an_ estab- 
lished industry. This branch a agri- 
culture has shown remarkable devel- 
opment during the past few years and 
it is estimated that the 1941 popula- 
tion wiil be approximately  thirvceen 
hundred colonies, 

The Westlock Bee-Keepers’ Assoc- 
iation, which was organized in 1937, 
can now boast of a membership of 
seventy five members and is render- 
ing a valuable service to one hundred 
and twenty-five bee-keepers in the 
District, Orders for eight hundred and 
fifty packages of bees were received 
by the Association this season and dis- 
tribution of packages has already tak- 
en place, Also bee supplies to the 
value of $1600.00 were purchased and 
distributed to members of this organ: 
ization during the past few weeks, 

In order to insure the proper hand- 
ling of honey and the placing of a 
high quality product on the market 
the bee-keepers of this District are 
seriously considering the establish- 
ing of a Co-operative Honey Process- 
ing Plant in Westlock, i 

The wintering of bees is becoming 
quite a common practice among many 
bee-keepers in this area and a reason- 
able degree of success has accom- 
panied this undertaking.

| Regret at the pending transfer of

word from Hon. C. D, Howe who in-

that responsibility rested with the 
company. Mr Ross also wrote to the 
general manager of the company but 
ho reply has been received. 

Reason given by the company for 
the transfer is that there is a steel 
stortage in Alberta. Board of Trade

ONE BIG TASK AHEAD 


HERE is one Big Task ahead for 

the people of The Empire, and 

the United States, all others are sub- 

servient and should be contributary 

to the successful prosecution of the 
War. 

We could go back to days when 
other actions taken would have pre- 
vented the present confiict— but 
those days are past and now we have 
to pay the price for the short-sighted 
and selfish decisions then made. But 
with the all-out aid of the United 
States we shall win, and a larger mea- 
sure of freedom and justice will be 
preserved for the world. 

The present days are very difficult 
ones, but we shall rise victorious ov- 
er the forces of tyranny now prevail- 
ing. 

The Peace Settlement then to be 
made, must be made with an all-round 
comprehension of justice for all, Then 
will be required the broad vision of 
men of understanding in all walks of 


life. 
The time for the making of this 
Treaty will come. May it be in the 


fairly near future.

ABSENCE OF CHEERING . 


URING the parade of last Thursday 
and also of the manoeuvres on the 
School Grounds, there was very little 
cheering and then the attempt was 
somewhat feeble. This does not imply 
lack of appreciation of the work of 
the men, Canadians as a people are 
not demonstrative. 

It might be the right thing for us 
to make an effort to break through 
this apparently stolid front, and give 
some encouragement to the men in 
uniform— by a good hearty cheer. 
War is however serious business, and 
the people at large fully recognize 
this, and for this reason find it diffi- 
cult to give voice to lusty cheering. 

Quite definitely it is not lack of 
appreciation, but a fuller sense of the 
responsibility facing us all, but the

NAMAKA 


This district has suffered a great 
loss by the death of Mr Theodore A. 
Thorssen on May 29th, 

For 32 years, Mr Thorssen had been 
engaged in farming operations East 
of Namaka, and during that time, had 
consistently semved the community in 
every possible way. His energy, time 
and money was unstintingly given to 
any cause for the advancement of the 
community, or of this, his adopted 
country, 

For many years he was a trustee of 
the Elwood School District, for 14 
years a councillor and for 12 years, 
Reeve of the Blackfoot Municipality. 

He was also chairman of the El- 
wood Mutual Telephone Co. from the 
time of its inception. 

The funeral took place at Park 
Memorial, Calgary, on May 31st, the 
pall bearers being Messrs. H. T. Col- 
poys, D. McBean, W. E. Thompson, 
H. E, Thomson, R. Umbrite and J. M. 
Wheatley, 

Several hundred friends and neigh- 
bors, fellow councillors, and brother 
Masons attended, which, with a mass 
of beautiful floral tributes, all testi- 
fied to the high esteem and deep re- 
gard in which he was held. 

We, who knew him, may truly say, 
“He served his generation,” and we 
wish to extend to Mrs Thorssen and 
the family our deepest sympathy.

in, the necessary arrangements were 
made to borrow up to two thousand 
dollars. It was pointed out that last 
year, Council provided for borrowing 
up to fifteen hundred, and actually 
only borrowed five hundred, but it 
was necessary to have a reasonably 
large margin. 

The agreement with the Calgary 
Power regarding a change in the 
franchise rates, was turned over to 
the Town Solicitor, and the Fire and 
Light committee to check before the 
next meeting. Any faults there may 
be, may thus be found in sufficient 
time to meet the July billing, when 
it is expected to go into operation. 

As the lot markers in one section 
of the cemetery are in bad _ shape, 
the Cemetery Committee were asked 
to see what was necessary, and what 
could be done. Suggestion was made 
to have more permanent markers in 
stalled. The Secretary was instruct: 
ed to write for prices on fire hose, to 
have the burst hose lengths repaired, 
and to get prices on chemicals, if 
possible for the next meeting. 

In accordance with a_ suggestion 
from the Attorney General's Dept 
By-law No. 212 was turned over to 
the Town Solicitor, with a view to 
redrafting the wording. The Attorney 
General suggested that there might 
be some ambiguity. 

Consternation filled the room when 
a letter from the Public Health Bur. 
eau intimated that the insect, Musca 


Domestica, is expected in this area, 
and will quite likely make forays, 
here and elsewhere, but a happy 


thought was turning it over to the 
Sanitation Dept. The insect, by the 
way, turned out to be the Housefly. 

Pursuant to a decision of a month 
ago to install parking signs at two 
corners on Main Street, it was decid 
ed to take the sign needs to Western 
Steel Products, and to see what they 
might arrange. Complaints having 
been received about bicycles on the 
sidewalk, Council found that they 
were a nuisance, and must be kept 
to the roads. Action will be taken if 
cyclists continue to offend, Council 
declared, . 

In response to a question, Council 
felt that they were not disposed to 
spend money on, nor to encourage the 
building of residential quarters in the 
Korek buliding, at the rear, Accounts 
aomunting to fifty-three dollar were 
read and passed. 

Councillor Risdon, tendering his re- 
signation, said he was sorry, that this 
must be his last meeting, owing to 
business reasons. It was accepted 
with regret, Council thanking him for 
his services.

VOLUNTEER FIRE 

A meeting of the Volunteer Firemen 
held on Monday evening in The Town 
Hall proved almost ag exciting as a 
fire when the brigade got steam up 
and nearly everyone brought forth 
their favorite idea all at the same 


time. Ordinary outsiders would have 
thought they had an official starter. 

In spite of, or possibly owing to, 
the variety of suggestions, there were 
some extremely good ideas brought 


out, and action taken in several cases, 

One idea, for instance, was that 
the appointment of a deputy fire chief 
would go a long way to alley eer | 
fon a some fires, where the chief is 
unable to be present, Acting on the 


suggestion, J. Swanson was elected | - 


to the post, and other firemen intim- 
ated after the meeting, that he will 
be inducted into this office at the 
next fire. 

A suggestion that the Council at- 
tend the next meeting of the Brigade 
was discussed, and it was felt that 
the Committee, Councillors Risdon 
and Quirin were sufficient. Since the 
meeting night was fixed for Tuesday, 
they were unable to attend, owing to 
Council, A new meeting night, the 
first Tuesday of every month was de- 
cided upon, and members are expect- 
ed to be present. 

At the request of the Fire Chief 
Mr Garrett filled the post of Secret- 
ary, and took over his duties immed- 
iately. 

Many of the firemen complained 
that they are frequently a long way 
from the hall, and by the time they 
have arrived, the truck is gone, and 
they have no idea where the fire is. 
To overcome this difficulty, it was
